Donkey Kong

Nintendo's 1981 title Donkey Kong is a single-screen action platforming game. Players assume the role of Mario in his first appearance, climbing girders to save Pauline from the "stubborn ape" Donkey Kong. The game features four unique level layouts, which increase in difficulty as they're revisited.

Believe it or not, today marks Tubby Robot's EIGHTH anniversary.

Maybe it's our love of computers and base-2 numbers, but eight feels like a particularly meaningful milestone. It's been an incredible chunk of time, and first and foremost we need to thank all of YOU for supporting our shop through thick and thin. Here's our deal: If you keep coming, we'll keep making ice cream.

On to the celebration! We're serving fresh Ice Cream Hoagies all day, with co-owners Chris and Steve both serving them up personally all night. It's forecast to be an incredible day, so stop by and join in the fun!

February has a LOT of things going on, but one that we're particularly fond of is Girl Scout Cookie season. That's why we're serving our fan favorite Cookie Season sundae again, and *that's why* you should come down and eat it.

Cookie Season starts with decadent Chocolate Mint Chocolate ice cream and is topped with hot fudge, cookie crumble, two thin mint cookies, and a dollop of whipped cream. It's truly one of our favorites, and it's only here for as long as we can still buy cookies.

This afternoon is your last chance to pick up game day pints!

We'll be closing at 5pm today so our staff can cheer on the birds.

February 07, 2025

We're prepped to cheer the birds on the road to victory this weekend, and you can join in with the one and only Super Cookie Bowl.

Don't worry! The bowls we're selling aren't anywhere near this big. Formed and baked by our friends at My Sweet Gluttony, our Super Cookie Bowls feature a scoop of ice cream of your choosing, hot fudge, and whipped cream. Supplies are VERY limited, so you'd better run like #26 if you want to snatch one up.

Declare your victory over the snow today with either a) A delicious from-scratch Hot Chocolate or b) An ice cream sundae as big as your head.

Both are valid choices, and you earned them by either a) shoveling or b) delegating.

December 24, 2024

The shop will be closed until January 2nd so our staff can enjoy the holidays with their families.

Have a wonderful holiday season, everyone!

December 18, 2024

Just in time for the holidays, we're now serving our super-seasonal Peppermint White Chocolate ice cream!

For those who haven't yet experienced it, this flavor is made using our beloved peppermint base and accentuated with white chocolate stracciatella and crushed candy cane dust. If you want a shortcut to getting into the spirit of the season, we've got one right here.

Please note that our final day of business this year will be Monday, 12/23. We'll be closed until Thursday, 1/2 so you only have a few days to load up on pints before 2025!

December 08, 2024

UPDATE: As of Monday morning, we are back to our normal schedule!

ORIGINAL POST: We hate to have to share this news on a beautiful sunny day, but we are having an issue with our electric service and can't open until it's been rectified.

As soon as we have a timeline for reopening we'll let you all know!
